Silent Hill is the perfect example for this discussion:
I played 2 way back when. I wanted to buy another copy some years later. Turns out, without even playing the game again, I dreamed about Pyramid Head and his giant ****** knife. About three months ago, I got Shattered Memories. As tame as it was, I couldn't fall asleep thanks to the "nightmare creatures." The next night, I stayed up intent on beating it to ensure it was over.
